What People Are Saying About Aruj Salon & Spa

In Short – Relaxation seekers are greeted at the door by an Aveda retail shop and gold-stained concrete floors that lead to seven hair stations and earth-toned nail and treatment rooms. Bustling weekends see couples indulging in hour-long massages or bride-and-groom packages that include therapeutic facials, massages and pedicures. Walk-ins have the best chance during the week, when it's mostly out-of-towners enjoying mud wraps and hair coloring services.

Lost her touch
by msinfomiami at Citysearch
i got a haircut there and was not happy about it at the end. but what could i really say, it was done and over with and nothing could be done but to wait for it to grow out. i realized that my stylist, though nice and entertaining, had lost her modern touch and didn't have the ability to adapt to what i had asked for. apparently she has been cuttin hair for 15+ years so she has plenty of experience, however after what she did to my hair i realized she had lost her sense of style. i should've realized this the minute i saw her own hair and she said she maintains it herself. it was NOT what i wanted for my own hair. so in the end, what it seems like to me is i got my hair done by someone who has experience but lost her edge- like those ladies that own their own salons where my gramma goes to get her hair done because my gramma knows that their style is ALWAYS the same and never evolving. how tragic for a hairstylist, who should be known to always be fresh and with the latest on the newest styles.
SO- if u want a basic cut, go to her- at least she's dependable and won't make it uneven. On the other hand, if you want something fresh, look for someplace else.
- Pros: friendly
- Cons: lost modern touch

Fabulous Color by Jackie
by opcagirl at Citysearch
I moved to Miami from DC and wanted to find an Aveda salon because I like Aveda color. I went to Aruj in Coconut Grove and am so happy that I found a great stylist and colorist in Jackie. She is very friendly and attentive ... as is everyone in the salon ... and did a fabulous job with my cut and color. I highly recommend her.
- Pros: Staff, salon results
- Cons: Parking

Tara is truly amazing!!!
by Rachel6169 at Citysearch
Tara is the bomb!! She knows style and I am always confident that I will get a great cut. The layed back atmosphere makes the whole experience relaxing and fun. I recently had a makeover as a favor for my friend who is on a national t.v. show and now I find myself running to Tara to fix the damage that this famous celebrity hair colorist and stylist did to my hair. I only trust Tara to undo this mess. Never again will I stray. I have a few friends that also get their hair done by Tara and as with myself they always receive compliments from random strangers. Love heeerrrr!
- Pros: Tara
